Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the corn variety designated CV399333. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CV399333, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CV399333 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The invention further relates to corn seeds and plants produced by crossing plants of variety CV399333 with plants of another variety, such as another inbred line. The invention further relates to the inbred and hybrid genetic complements of plants of variety CV399333.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of training a deep neural network, comprising, for each of one or more batches of training examples: processing the data in a forward pass through the layers of the network, by: applying a set of network weights to the input data to obtain a set of weighted inputs, normalising the weighted inputs based on statistics computed for each training example, transforming the normalised inputs by affine transformation parameters, applying an activation function to the transformed normalised inputs to obtain post-activation values, and normalizing the post-activation values based on one or more proxy variables sampled from a distribution defined by proxy distribution parameters, the normalization applied independently of training example; processing the data in a backward pass through the network to determine updates to learnable parameters comprising network weights, affine transformation parameters, and proxy distribution parameters, and updating the learnable parameters to optimise a p

Abstract: A method of replacing a portion of a cranium with a hard tissue implant can include resecting a first portion of the cranium to define a first margin region. The first portion of the cranium can be analyzed to determine if the first margin region is free of cancerous cells. A second portion of the cranium can be resected to define a second margin region that is larger than the first margin region when the first margin region is not free of cancerous cells. An outer implant can be secured to the cranium at the second margin region. An inner implant can be secured to the outer implant.

Abstract: A modular and expandable 3D printer frame includes frame members to be coupled together to form a base defining an inner area. Each frame member includes at least one coupling member to removably couple the frame member to another of the frame members. The printer frame further includes first modular plates to be disposed within the inner area, and second modular plates to be disposed within the inner area and removably coupled to the first modular plates. The first and second modular plates, when coupled together, define a printer footprint.

Abstract: An HVAC controller includes a touch-responsive display and a scheduling grid having one or more rows representing a 24 hour period of a day-of-week. A user selects an operation to be performed such as adding or deleting a scheduled event, such as a period of occupancy or non-occupancy. A visual representation of the available operations and the temporal regions subject to the available operations is presented. A user may then select the desired region on which to perform the operation, the operation is visually represented on the touch-responsive display, and the user indicates whether the operation should be saved or discarded. The operation may be applied to additional remote HVAC devices in a single operation.

Abstract: An end effector coupler for a surgical arm can include a body, a proximal coupler, and a tool lock. The tool lock can releasably retain a tool stem to the end effector coupler. The tool lock can include a keyed opening, a pin bore, a pin disposed in the bin bore, a biasing element located in the pin bore, and a pin release including an actuator, the pin release operable to retract the pin into to the body to disengage the pin from the tool stem allowing release of the tool stem from the keyed opening.

Abstract: A system and method for document retrieval is disclosed. The invention addresses a major problem in text-based document retrieval: rapidly finding a small subset of documents in a large document collection (e.g. Web pages on the Internet) that are relevant to a limited set of query terms supplied by the user. The invention is based on utilizing information contained in the document collection about the statistics of word relationships (“context”) to facilitate the specification of search queries and document comparison. The method consists of first compiling word relationships into a context database that captures the statistics of word proximity and occurrence throughout the document collection. At retrieval time, a search matrix is computed from a set of user-supplied keywords and the context database. For each document in the collection, a similar matrix is computed using the contents of the document and the context database.
